Update -- went to see the neuro
... and he pronounced me "as healthy as I've ever been" where he's concerned. Yay!
I told him about my seizures that I've experienced after traveling, and we had a good talk about my medication levels. He still thinks taking the 250mg of Depakote ER is way under therapeutic levels and wants me to try 500mg.
I agreed, especially after he told me I could still take it once a day, before bedtime. I'm going to go through some stress in the next handful of months, and I'd rather be seizure-free during this time. He gave me the prescription in 250mg pills, though, so I can go back down if I have side effects.
Two things I've noticed after being on the higher dose for a week: I'm getting out of bed easier in the morning, and I've been having more headaches than usual. Let's hope those headaches go away!
Anyone else see the neuro while we were away?
